Technical Abstract

A color flat display panel and a corresponding color flat display device are disclosed. The color flat display panel comprises a plurality of pixels, a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines. Each of the pixels comprises a first color sub-pixel, a second color sub-pixel and a third color sub-pixel, each of the scanning lines is electrically connected with a corresponding row of sub-pixels in a row direction, and each of the data lines is electrically connected with a corresponding column of sub-pixels in a column direction. The first color sub-pixel, the second color sub-pixel and the third color sub-pixel of each of the pixels are arranged in the column direction so that the corresponding row of sub-pixels electrically connected with each of the scanning lines are sub-pixels of a same color. As sub-pixels of each row are of a same color, each sub-pixel can receive a Gamma curve of the same color, thus obviating the color-cross.
